Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The period of the correspondence--1776-1792--were years filled with momentous events that reached a climax in the Declaration of Independence, the open conflict with Great Brit­ain, and the evolution of a distinct philosophy of government as embodied in the Constitution and the Federal government. From this correspondence, from Mr. Gardiner's commentaries, and from the biographical data in the introduction and epilogue, three indomitable figures dedicated to the cause of human freedom emerge in bold relief: James Warren; his wife, Mercy; and Elbridge Gerry. Mr. Gardiner has stressed two themes--James Warren's role in the transition of Massachusetts from colony to state, and Gerry's part in the establishment of the national government under the Federal Constitution. Mercy Warren, who earned for herself the title of "First Lady of the Revolution," played her role with her pen. Students of American history have long felt the need for scholarly biographies of the secondary figures of the colonial and early national periods. These letters, albeit a small part of the total correspondence, should help fill this gap in the literature of the revolutionary years. To the general reader, however, the letters will say something else. For in the welter of current debate on subjects fit for dissent and on acceptable limits to dissent, it is refreshing to look backward not to the giants of history but to its lesser figures who risked everything on a "bold stroke to try the Issue."
